"Although I have never seen a demon, I don't think it is like the description." said the blonde girl.
Since it was not a demon, Leon felt the same surprise and helplessness as the craftsman.
"So what is it... Aifei, can you use your ability to get the staff back first?"
“I was just trying.”
Ellaphia's small hands made a sword-like gesture, using her magic power to try to control the staff and take it back.
"Those below the realm of excellence, please step back!" Hephiwise shouted to the craftsmen.
The light that the craftsmen called the Radiance of Creation was not only a phenomenon that appeared when the Noble Phantasm was completed, but now it was used as a weapon by the attacker. Only those who could create pure demonic matter could withstand this level of power.
The red-haired craftsman controlled the entire system of the Orichalcum Furnace and launched an attack, but was unable to penetrate the barrier of the Radiance of Creation.
"Impossible! Where did it come from? Why can it control the brilliance of creation?"
Hephiphaeus could not accept that the metal hand could control the Radiance of Creation, and the Orichalcum Furnace tried its best but could not shake it.
As if in response to his question, another metal hand stretched out from the dimensional rift, and with a roar of thunder, the rift suddenly split open.
A silver-blue metallic giant slowly stepped into the Orichalcum Furnace, an underground cave stained with orange-red flames. The blue steel all over its body seemed colder than ice. Once it appeared, the temperature of the entire cave dropped sharply, and even the flames in the furnace stopped rising.
"A golem that controls the power of frost?" Moren guessed, clenching his fists.
"Do not."
Ellaphia saw the difference immediately: "It's not controlling the elements, it's manipulating the domain."
"Domain?" Hephiphaeus stared at the giant as he retreated. "It shouldn't be a domain. If the Orichalcum Furnace's magical balance were to be touched by a domain, it would be easily disrupted."
The craftsmen did not build a portal so as not to disrupt the operation of the furnace.
"Its operation is similar to a Noble Phantasm. The power of the ninth level constructs an inherent barrier on its surface. Although it is not deployed, it gives it the ability to exclude certain forces."
Using her abilities as a blademaster, Alafia gained insight into the true nature of the Metal Giant.
It is five or six meters tall, like an autonomous walking suit of armor without anyone wearing it. If you look closely at the blue light on its surface, you will find that rays of light are passing through tiny runes engraved on its metal body.
The giant completely walked out of the dimensional rift, but the rift behind it did not close. Instead, it emitted a thick magical power that connected to its body, filling it with magic power.
Behind the flickering crack, everyone could see a magnificent hall, but due to the distortion of the dimension, the scene inside was not real.
Hephiway almost shouted, "That place is——"
"Usurper. Dared to steal the Creator's authority."
The sound made by the Iron Giant seemed to be simulated by a machine, without any emotion of flesh and blood life.
The authority of the Creator?
The master craftsmen and Li Ang and the other two all frowned.
"The authority of mortals to control divine instruments has long been revoked for 726981 cycles. 254912 solar and lunar cycles have passed since the last fire thief, who committed a heinous crime, was executed. Finally, another arrogant individual has crossed the forbidden boundary."
The Iron Giant held a staff in his hand and said, "We must not allow such a creation to fall into the mortal world."
It was as if there was a soul in its armored body. Two balls of phantom flames were seen under its helmet, looking at everyone in the field. Its gaze was also fixed on the Promise-Breaking Revenge Thorn Lance carried by Leon and the treasure that Alafia had just summoned.
"The same goes for these. After we take back the creation, all of you lunatics who stole power will be punished."
"Heh." Ella Fia chuckled.
The iron giant stretched out his hand to grab the dark gold ghost-faced hammer that the girl took out. Ellaphia immediately controlled the hammer to smash it at the giant, but the giant's body seemed to contain infinite strength. It took the blow of the hammer head without dodging, grabbed the handle in her hand, and took it away directly.
Its chest opened to both sides like a mechanism, and inside was a large number of weapons and equipment displayed like an armory.
"Those things are—destroyed Noble Phantasms!" Cassandra exclaimed.
Galdin muttered, "How is that possible? Destroy the Noble Phantasm?"
"The Creator's mercy has endowed the mortal world with the qualifications to wield power, but pathetic mortals have used it to destroy the foundations of the world. On behalf of the Sanctuary, which maintains the balance of the entire world, I will reclaim the divine instruments, use time to dissipate the power of the Essence, and release the power they control."
The Iron Giant spoke calmly as he thrust the staff forged with the combined power of the Dome Furnace Society and Alafia's giant hammer into his chest.
The mechanism on its chest slowly closed. Ellaphia released pure magic chains, but she was unable to stop the process at all, and the chains were torn off bit by bit.
"Its body is a Noble Phantasm."
The blond Douding frowned and said, "It has the power to restrain Noble Phantasms. Ordinary combat methods are ineffective. I must use the inherent barriers within my domain and on it."
Molain said anxiously, "If that happens, the magical balance of the entire Orichalcum Furnace will be destroyed, and this furnace will be ruined."
"Take back our work!" Hephiwise said, "Building the furnace only takes time. I cannot tolerate this inexplicable thing destroying my masterpiece before I even touch it!"
"I think so too!" Cassandra shouted, "Miss Senator, please be the vanguard!"
"A heinous crime." The metal giant said slowly.
[Creation Furnace Guardian Alpha]
After the raging flames of the world's birth subsided, the Furnace of Creation emerged. The Creator left within it a program for adjusting the world's permissions. Whenever the world experiences anomalies, permissions change accordingly. When singularities appear that violate the world's permissions, the Furnace of Creation's guards are dispatched to rectify them.
[Species: Creature·Undead]
【Battle Wisdom: Level 9】
Servant: None
[Energy Source: Fire of Creation [Furnace Magic Pipe]]
[Physical Strength; Secondary Elementium Armor, Level 8. Concept Rune: Indestructible, Level 9]

[Combat Power Increase: 99%]
After seeing the panel of this object clearly, Leon was convinced that even if they obtained the possession of the staff, the attempt of the Qionglu Society would still fail.
It was he who threw the refined source crystal from Bahamut's harness into the furnace, and the staff was able to forcibly transcend the "authority" stipulated by the Furnace of Creation and be forged into a treasure.
This was like violating the rules of the world and attracted the guards of the Furnace of Creation.
In this case, Hephihuais's strong reaction just now was because he recognized the location in the dimensional passage behind the guard. That was the Furnace of Creation they had been looking for for a long time.
The giant raised one foot and stomped it hard on the ground. His calf alone was taller than the petite people here. This stomp of his foot sent a shock wave directly to the ground, causing many craftsmen to fall to the ground.
Its fist took this opportunity to smash down like a giant hammer. It did not aim at any individual, because if the impact was realized, the four or five flesh and blood bodies would be turned into meat paste.
A metal palm of the same size appeared out of thin air and took the heavy blow.
The explosion and shock wave of metal collision shook the cave. In front of the huge steel guard, Ellaphia, a member of the Haven tribe, stood still as a mountain and stood firmly on the flying sword.
Behind this giant-like hand, pure magic metal continuously formed, transforming into a complete giant arm. From the outside, its lines were softer and its structure more slender, like a woman's hand.
Cassandra took the gun from her back and ignored the long-range bursts and close-range shotgun shells.
Alafia's judgment was very accurate, and the panel also showed this point. If the domain was not used to offset the inherent barrier called "Concept Rune" on its body surface, it would not be harmed at all.
However, it seems that it is not very capable of defending against attacks from high-level magic, but it can control the "Glory of Creation". Leon guessed that it was the "Calling on the Power of Source" written on the panel. This power seems to be higher in rank than high-level magic and can neutralize them immediately.
If the Crimson Demon masters the deconstruction of mortal power from the perspective of spiritual manipulation, then the Furnace Guardian is a higher being that controls the material and energy levels.
The only ones who can fight against them are the 9th level strongmen who have transcended the limitations of dimensions and opened up a field between dimensions that abides by their own new set of rules.
A golden light appeared beneath Alafia, expanding outward from the floor, a precursor to her deploying the Infinite Weapon Forging Field.
"Don't even think about expanding the pseudo-god realm." The iron giant raised his foot and stepped towards the place where she created the realm. Amid the sound of thunder, it bombarded the dimension to forcibly close her realm.
"I'll slow it down." Leon said to Ella Fia.
"Need not."
The blonde was filled with rage, as if because her Noble Phantasm had been taken away from her. She wanted to directly defeat this "guardian" who had suddenly attacked her.
"Iron Giant? I've been wanting to find someone of equal strength for a long time."
There was already a giant-sized piece of metal in front of her that was blocking the giant's attack. She raised her hand and created another similar arm.
Between her two arms, a circle of pure demonic metal rose up, enveloping her. This metal layer immediately transformed into a breastplate that accentuated her feminine curves, and her two arms flew towards it and joined it.
Then, the skirt armor, leg armor, greaves, and helmet that matched the arms and breastplate also took shape.
"Is she going to be a giant too? How cool!" Cassandra exclaimed.
She and Geldin joined forces, one using melee attacks and the other using arcane magic, but his forge guards were unresponsive to the attacks.
The Furnace Guard's fists attacked faster and faster, and the arm raised to block its attack was immediately twisted and shattered. Ellaphia had to expend her strength on reshaping the arm, and the structure of the giant's body slowed down instantly.
Leon knew that this was because Alafia had not yet added an inherent barrier to it, and she was still in the process of using magic to shape a new posture.
He immediately put the spiritual activation on her.
Suddenly, the magic power on the giant armor she created gushed out, and the metal protective layer took shape at a high speed, far exceeding the destruction speed of the Honglu Guards.
In an instant, it was as if a six-meter-tall female giant war god wearing a full set of silver armor descended here.
Her whole body was covered in a golden light, and then she raised her arms and easily blocked the attack of the Honglu guard.
"Finally I see her use it once." Li Ang sighed.
"What, what is that? When did Aifei come up with this trick?" Faronio asked in surprise.
"You haven't run away yet?"
"What do you think of me, Mr. Leon?" Farlow puffed up his cheeks.
"Don't you know her tricks?"
"She and I haven't communicated much for quite some time. She's been working very hard, so it's perfectly normal for her to develop new strategies."
"This is her secret technique, called 'Goddess of War'."
By exerting the power of a blademaster, Alafia directly forged a giant armor out of pure magic metal and operated it personally, as if she were on the battlefield herself.
In this state, her martial arts and professional skills will be perfectly combined, and there will also be inherent barriers to strengthen this body of the God of War.
Among her four secrets, Symphony of Thousand Blades and Infinite Weapon Forging Field are just appetizers. The ones that truly unleash her power are "Trial of Treasure Weapons" and "Goddess of War".
Facing this metal guard, the Noble Phantasm would unexpectedly fail, so she chose the latter.
Those who do not have the same level of power can only kneel before it.
This full body armor highlights Alafia's aesthetic taste. The edges of the armor are decorated with carved patterns that do not affect its practicality. The lines of the armor are majestic while reflecting the unique feminine beauty. However, it leaves no doubt about her strength. She is truly worthy of the title of "Goddess of War".
A lance and a round shield appeared in the hands of the Iron Valkyrie. She struck back the guard of the Furnace of Creation with a shield strike, and then rushed forward with her spear, hitting him in the chest. The blue-silver rune light flashed, neutralizing the barrier at the tip of the spear, and the metal structure there was dented by the blow.
The retreat of the iron giant directly crushed the platform of the mountain copper furnace. Its body knocked the outer circle of the furnace down, and in order to stand firmly and hold on to the wall of the cave, the flame guide rail on the rock wall was easily torn apart.
The guard stood firm again, the metal on his chest slowly repairing itself, its metallic sound showing a slight fluctuation of emotion. "Arrogant mortal, I possess the power of the furnace. You cannot destroy me, you will only die of exhaustion."
"Will not."
The Valkyrie, wearing her elegant helmet, turned to Leon and spoke in the voice of Alafia, "I would consider this issue under normal circumstances, but I have the best support in the world right now."
The Goddess of War stretched out her arms, and behind her, a suspended ring took shape, on which giant weapons made of pure magic metal began to form.
And on the back of the armor, another pair of arms stretched out, each holding a sword and an axe.
Another pair of arms stretched out, grabbing a hammer and a gun.
The six arms moved slightly and all aimed at the Honglu guard.
The Valkyrie whispered, "The power of this secret technique is far beyond normal. It will be easy to destroy you."
212. Goddess of War
"Wow." Cassandra exclaimed.
This congresswoman is very famous, but not many people can see her full potential.
The main reason was that Newbiss rarely encountered situations that required her to deal with them with all her strength.
Leon knew that her confidence at the moment was well-founded, because the inherent barrier on the Goddess of War was called "Rhythm of War", which would add destructive power every time it hit the enemy.
As her confident words fell, the ghost in the gap of the Honglu guard's armor trembled. Leon felt that it seemed to be in great anger, but it had no flesh and voice, so it could not roar. There was only the sound of violent friction of metal armor.
With the Iron Guard as the center, the flow of spirit and magic power suddenly became turbulent. It stomped its feet on the ground quickly, causing earthquakes and shock waves one after another. Everyone except the Valkyrie had to avoid its edge.
Faronio was teleported to a hanging chandelier in a flash of light. Although it was swaying, it was better than being hit directly by the shock wave.
Leon himself used the wind armor to float on the ground.
The continuous impact was only the first blow of the Honglu Guardian. The dimensional rift behind it spewed out surging magic power, which was filtered through its armor and formed a circle of molten fire vortex under its feet.
The vortex expanded rapidly, swallowing up all spirits related to fire. The flames of the Orichalcum Furnace dwindled rapidly until they were extinguished.
